Question

Write an equation of the line below.

Answer 1

y = (1/2)x + 2

Explanation:

Go from point (-2,1) to (0, 2).

Start at point (-2, 1). First, go up 1 unit. That is a rise of 1.

Now go 2 units right. That is a run of 2.

slope = rise/run = 1/2 = m

The graph intersects the y-axis at 2, so the y-intercept = b= 2.

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + 2
